Event Details

~We're booking two identical workshops because they
are going to fill up fast!~

Course description:

This 2.5 hour workshop was designed to lead the individual to a
place of greater resilience and resourcefulness, so they can then move into
community based work. We will discuss stockpiling, gleaning, working with farms,
food preservation, reducing waste, intensive growing practices, community
sharing and more. Food security starts with the
individual.

Date: Saturday September 19: 10am-12:30pm OR 2:00pm-4:30pm

Cost: $24 (plus $1.75 cent registration fee)

Registration:

Limited to 20 people. **Please
note that all UBC Farm Growing Season Workshops require advance payment.
Also, our workshops sell out VERY quickly. We apologize for
any inconvenience or disappointment. There is great demand for our workshops, and unfortunately we can't accomodate everyone. If the website says the workshop is full,
it really is full.**
